Pros Cons Best Uses
Comments about Reliance 7 Gallon Aqua-Tainer: I own 16 of these containers and everyone of them are performing just fine. The secret for stacking is to fill them full, but you still can only stack them two high without fear of rupture.

Q:
Someone asked if this container could be used for long term water storage and the answer given was per the FEMA site. That site indicates to use "food-grade" containers. Is this considered a "food-grade" container. Do you recommend this container be used for long term water storage if the container is first sterilized per the FEMA site?Asked on 11/4/2012 by Cristine from Georgia1 answer
A:
This is food grade polyethylene and would work for long term storage. That said I would freshen the water on a regular basis as a best practice.Answered on 11/7/2012 by Steve from Campmor

Q:
Would these containers be appropriate for longer term water storage (hurricane and other preparedness) where water may be stored for 1-2 years? Should water stored this long have disinfectants like bleach added to fight bacteria, or will containers protect against that?Asked on 8/24/2011 by Anonymous1 answer
A:
From FEMA:
How Should I Store Water?
To prepare safest and most reliable emergency supply of water, it is recommended you purchase commercially bottled water. Keep bottled water in its original container and do not open it until you need to use it.
Observe the expiration or “use by” date.

If You are Preparing Your Own Containers of Water
It is recommended you purchase food-grade water storage containers from surplus or camping supplies stores to use for water storage. Before filling with water, thoroughly clean the containers with dishwashing soap and water, and rinse completely so there is no residual soap. Follow directions below on filling the container with water.
If you choose to use your own storage containers, choose two-liter plastic soft drink bottles – not plastic jugs or cardboard containers that have had milk or fruit juice in them. Milk protein and fruit sugars cannot be adequately removed from these containers and provide an environment for bacterial growth when water is stored in them. Cardboard containers also leak easily and are not designed for long-term storage of liquids. Also, do not use glass containers, because they can break and are heavy.
If storing water in plastic soda bottles, follow these steps
Thoroughly clean the bottles with dishwashing soap and water, and rinse completely so there is no residual soap.Sanitize the bottles by adding a solution of 1 teaspoon of non-scented liquid household chlorine bleach to a quart of water. Swish the sanitizing solution in the bottle so that it touches all surfaces. After sanitizing the bottle, thoroughly rinse out the sanitizing solution with clean water.Answered on 8/26/2011 by Steve from Campmor
